Symmetric identities in graded algebras

Let P k be the symmetric polynomial of degree k i.e., the full linearization of the polynomial x k . Let G be a cancellation semigroup with 1 and R a G-graded ring with finite support of order n. We prove that if R 1 satisfies $ P_k \equiv 0 $ then R satisfies $ P_{kn} \equiv 0 $ .
